This.
The existing infrastructure of gas stations is not comparable to hydrogen.
- Consumers don't wear cryo gloves as they fill,
- tanks aren't pressure vessels,
- kiosks (and attendants) aren't monitoring pressure
Something governments really need to consider implementing are superfund cleanups of the existing tanks. While some stations ( (especially those at highways where 100+ mile trips are likely) may convert to electric or possibly hydrogen, we have only 2-3 years before 50% of 80% of trips can be "fueled" fromm home.
- hedora 4y agoWhat? - The fill nozzles for hydrogen cars are insulated. - Gas stations manage pressure tanks for propane already, with no problem. - Automated pressure monitoring has been a solved problem since the steam engine. - Hydrogen crackers don’t create superfund sites. If they leak, they leak water, hydrogen and oxygen. A hydrogen cracker can just be plopped down wherever electricity and water are available. You probably need an attendant because of vandals, bathrooms, snacks, etc, like a current gas station. This is why current commercial crackers are often found at existing gas stations.

Not in most of the US > Hydrogen crackers don’t create superfund sites But replacing the existing tank to dig another does (whether replaced by hydrogen or electric) > Automated pressure monitoring has been a solved problem since the steam engine. Us still have "do not top off" instructions at every pump
